Description

Guest: Amy Dempsey, feature writer Less than a century ago, a single raccoon raiding a garbage bin was front-page news in Toronto, while today the trash pandas are everywhere. Feature writer Amy Dempsey, who documented how the creatures outsmarted the city’s waste-bin engineers, takes a closer look at our love-hate relationships with these animals, the city’s frustrated attempts to control them and how and why they’ve made themselves at home in Toronto (and invited themselves to join Amy’s wedding). This episode was produced by Paulo Marques, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston and Edward Keenan. Audio Sources: CBC, Toronto Star
